Glenville State University Athletics

Cheryl Stout McHugh's induction to Glenville State's Curtis Elam Hall of Fame this Friday night is one of historical significance. She is the first inductee that spent her college career primarily as a Pioneer Volleyball player. McHugh is a Wood County native, and enjoyed a stellar career as a two-sport star at Parkersburg Catholic High School. She was recruited to Glenville by former Glenville State head volleyball coach Kenny Osborne, and was the star player during GSU's most successful run in the sport of volleyball. She also played one year of basketball for the Lady Pioneer hoops program. During her time with the volleyball program, McHugh was named First-Team All-Conference in 1996 and 1998, and Second Team in 1997. She was a star on the 1998 team that won a school-record 23 matches…the first team in program history to eclipse the 20-win plateau. That season, she finished sixth in the nation with 706 kills (4.87 kpg), and was 25^th in kill percentage (.354). She closed her career as the school's all-time leader in several categories; in kills at 2337 kills, 573 blocks, and 278 service aces. She remains one of only two GSU volleyball players to twice be named First-Team All-Conference. McHugh has worked for over two decades in the fitness field, and is the owner of her own business, Full Circle Yoga.
